Electronic Data Processing PLC (EDP)

Interim Management Statement

Material Events and Transactions

There were no material events or transactions during the period under review.

Business Performance

Trading conditions remain similar to those experienced in the first half of the financial year. Continued uncertainty in the economy means that businesses operating in the sectors we address remain cautious with regard to IT spending decisions. As described in our interim statement we have been able to maintain our activity levels by refining our pricing model and charging lower upfront licence fees but with increased ongoing fees.

Financial Position

Our contracted recurring revenues remain strong and, consistent with the first half, represent approximately 80% of turnover.

The relocation of our head-office in Sheffield was completed on schedule in June generating cost savings in excess of £60,000 a year with effect from 1 August 2011. In addition we have ceased to pay £10,000 a month of one-off temporary rental costs on our former premises with effect from the same date.

EDP continues to have a strong, debt-free balance sheet with cash balances of £4.6 million at 15 August 2011.

Outlook

We expect our customers to remain cautious whilst significant uncertainty remains in the economy generally. However, with our strong recurring revenues, carefully managed cost base and strong product offering, we are well positioned for the future.
